ABg BSDF 模型
在 Tracepro 中的 BSDF 函数模型是一种叫做 ABg 的逆幂律模型，之所以被叫做 ABg 模型是因为在它的表达式中 A,B,g 有三个参数，

在式中，A,B,g 参数可以由测量的数据去拟合公式得到。

Harvey-Shack BSDF（哈维 BSDF 模型）
Harvey 在其论文（J.E. Harvey, “Light-Scattering Properties of Optical Surfaces, Ph.D Dissertation, U. Arizona, 1976” J.E. Harvey, 光学表面的光反射特性，博士论文，亚利桑那大学）中论述，对于大多光学表面，如果表示为余弦项而非角度项，则 BSDF 与入射光方向无关。类比线性系统理论，Harvey 称此特性为“平移不变性”。在图 7.4 中，β0 是单位矢量 r0 在镜面方向上的投影，β 是单位矢量 r 在散射方向上的投影，两者之差的模，|β-β0|是 BSDF 的 argument（是 BSDF 所要讨论的）。注意，β 和 β0 不是单位矢量！他们是单位矢量的投影，所以他们的长度小于等于 1. Harvey-Shack 方法给出了一个适用于多数光学表面的模型，即适用于：散射主要由表面粗糙导致散射（以及表面粗糙度）是各向同性的表面粗糙度相对于光波长较小

graphical user interface application.It helps users generate many kinds of freeform geometry and simulate its optical system performance in TracePro?.Furthermore it manipulates TracePro?to accomplish the optimization through DDE channel.To understand the interfaces of Interactive Optimizer,a simple description about each child windows are necessary,they are:3.Interactive Profile EditorOptical designers always have a lot of brilliant ideas to create optical systems.The optics geometry shape that they want to use in their system it’s not a primitive geometry,like sphere or block.Thus,how to create a desired geometry shape is an important issue.Even some people can’t100%simulate their optical system in TracePro,just because of complicate model creating problem.And here,Interactive Optimizer can help designer create their complicate optical components quickly and accurately.Interactive Optimizer provides Interactive Profile Drawer to easily create geometry.In Drawer,user can use straight line and spline to draw an enclosed loop to represent geometry’s profile.And without limiting the number of node point,the profile can fully matches use’s desire.The finished profile can be directly export to TracePro as a3D solid object.Or this profile can be the initial design of a system optimization process.Furthermore,it provides real-time2D raytrace function to speed up create a better initial design.There are a lot of features,such like drawing profile,raytrace,paste background bitmap and so on,that are included in Interactive Profile Drawer.So,for convenient operation,there is an independent“Toolbox”panel to switch Profile Drawer to different function.More:Interactive Profile Drawer-SegmentInteractive Profile Drawer-ObjectInteractive Profile Drawer-RaysInteractive

DeleteRight-click on the center point of the pasted bitmap and then click on the“Delete”command from the pop-up menu will delete the pasted bitmap.AdjustThe pasted bitmap can be rotated or scaled by dragging the control points of the bitmap frame.4.ToolboxThe ToolBox Panel is the control panel for users to select the manage mode of the Profile Editor Window.In each manage mode,users can implement different actions to the displayed objects in the model.More:Toolbox-Mode4.1ModeSegWhen Seg mode is selected,users can reshape the object profile by making adjustment to the segment/control point position in the Profile Editor Window.The way how the segment/control points are connected will base on the curve type selection of each segment.ObjWhen Obj mode is selected,users can select to add,delete,or move an arbitrary object in the model.RaysWhen Rays mode is selected,the raytrace function is enabled,and this helps give a quick check to the designmodel.Show RaysWhen Show Rays icon is checked,the traced rays will be instantly shown in the Profile Editor Window.BitmapWhen Bitmap mode is selected,users can paste,modify,or delete the grabbed image in the Profile Editor Window.Show BitmapWhen Show Bitmap icon is checked,the pasted picture will be shown as the background image in the Profile Editor Window.Opacity TunnerThrough the Opacity Tuner,users can directly tune the opacity of the pasted bitmap.Unit SelectorUsers can select the unit of the editor window to be mm,cm,or m.5.PropertyThe Property Editor allows users define the environment and object property in the

optimization.More:Optimization-OptionsOptimization-VariablesOptimization-OperandsOptimization-Objects7.1OptionsInteractive Optimization Utility uses DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange),a Windows protocol to share information with TracePro.To establish a full optimization,utility exports geometry to current document, commands that TracePro apply properties to exported object(s),and then initiates raytrace and saves simulation result.The whole optimization process would be saved.Thus,the file path and log file name have to be defined in advance.7.2VariablesAll variables will be listed in this panel.It’s just a simple viewer to monitor all variables in an easy way.We suggest not changing any value in this panel.That may cause some problems.The ideal way to modify variable-related values is through the Property window's Object Tab.Additional VariableIn some complicated case,we need some more advanced optimization skill to optimize our/doc/8b19926bcaaedd3383c4d3ad.html ually advanced optimization skill goes along with using After-scheme.To insert a new user-defined variable,first step is right click on this panel,and insert a user-defined variable.After setting its initial value,upperand lower limits, this variable’s name would be recognized in After-scheme.This new variable can be used to be one parameter of all commands in After-scheme.7.3OperandsAfter you have initiated the design of geometry shape,you need to set up the merit functions for you design system.For the following optimization process,it will take all operands as references and considering individual weight to evaluate the error value of each run.There are five different kinds of operands can be used.They are Flux,CIExy,CIEu’v’,Irradiance Profile and Candela Profile.Besides,each operand has different way to set up.Operand Type-FluxThe calculation of flux operand’s error value bases on the difference value between the target value and total flux of selection area on the observation plane.Operand Type-CIE u'v'&CIE xyThe calculation of CIE operand’s error value bases on the color difference on CIE map between the target color and the average color on selected region on observation plane.Operand Type-Irradiance ProfileThe calculation of Irr Profile operand’s error value bases on the irradiance/illumunance profile similarity between the target profile and the profile gotten from observation plane.。

object will be shown in this ers can select to modify the item they want and the corresponding will be highlighted in the Profile Editor Window.6.ExportTo open the Export Panel,click on menu button:"Export".To generate geometry model and apply properties,use Export function to create a complete model including its optics properties in TracePro.Through DDE link,objects with the designated surface profiles can be directly added into the model window of TracePro.The creation mode and the applied property of each object can be checked and modified in the Export PanelMore:•Export Optical Element(s)•Creation Mode6.1Optical Element(s)This window generates optics object(s)in TracePro.Each object's geometry profile bases on”Editor Window”.And then,by different“Creation mode”,3D shape could be“Radial Symmetry”,“Biaxial”andproperty.Export7.OptimizationThere are4regions in the optimization window.They are“Saving Optimization Log Options”,“Optimization Variables List”,“Optical Element Export Options”and“Definitions of Optimization Operands”.All parameters in this window will determine whether Interactive Optimization Utility links TracePro successfully and how to accomplish this optimization.While everything is ready,click"Start"button to begin optimization.More:•Optimization-Options•Optimization-Variables•Optimization-Operands•Optimization-Objects7.1OptionsInteractive Optimization Utility uses DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange),a Windows protocol to share information with TracePro.To establish a full optimization,utility exports geometry to current document, commands that TracePro apply properties to exported object(s),and then initiates raytrace and saves simulation result.The whole optimization process would be saved.Thus,the file path and log file name have to be defined in advance.7.2VariablesAll variables will be listed in this panel.It’s just a simple viewer to monitor all variables in an easy way.We suggest not changing any value in this panel.That may cause some problems.The ideal way to modify variable-related values is through the Property window's Object Tab.Additional VariableIn some complicated case,we need some more advanced optimization skill to optimize our ually advanced optimization skill goes along with using After-scheme.To insert a new user-defined variable,first step is right click on this panel,and insert a user-defined variable.After setting its initial value,upper and lower limits, this variable’s name would be recognized in After-scheme.This new variable can be used to be one parameter of all commands in After-scheme.7.3OperandsAfter you have initiated the design of geometry shape,you need to set up the merit functions for you design system.For the following optimization process,it will take all operands as references and considering individual weight to evaluate the error value of each run.There are five different kinds of operands can be used.They are Flux,CIExy,CIEu’v’,Irradiance Profile and Candela Profile.Besides,each operand has different way to set up.Operand Type-FluxThe calculation of flux operand’s error value bases on the difference value between the target value and total flux of selection area on the observation plane.Operand Type-CIE u'v'&CIE xyThe calculation of CIE operand’s error value bases on the color difference on CIE map between the target color and the average color on selected region on observation plane.Operand Type-Irradiance ProfileThe calculation of Irr Profile operand’s error value bases on the irradiance/illumunance profile similaritybetween the target profile and the profile gotten from observation plane.Operand Type-FluxThe calculation of Irr Profile operand’s error value bases on the irradiance/illumunance profile similarity between the target profile and the profile gotten from observation plane.7.4ObjectsDuring optimization process,Interactive Optimizer follows the variables that optimization algorithm7.Optimizationgenerates to export one or more optics that need to be optimized into TracePro in each iteration.After creating optics,next steps are performing raytrace and analyzing its result.Here,this objects panel manages how to export optics and including applying material property on it.The detailed about exporting object,such as definition of parameters and creation mode,see Export.After-schemeThe last column named“After-scheme”is the only distinction between Export window and this panel.If there’s other specific actions must be executed after creating geometry,people can add additional code at this column.It’s compatible with TracePro Scheme Commands and all commands provided by Interactive Optimizer. Double-click the grid,a Scheme editor window pops up.After coding,press“Apply”button to save it.Scheme ExecutionTo pre-execute the content in after-scheme column,Right click on the grid,a menu pops up.Three different actions as follow:8.Optimization LogThe Optimization Log window helps user monitor the optimization progress.While performing optimization, this window shows up automatically.More:•Optimization Log-Graphs•Optimization Log-Trand Chart8.1GraphsAll iteration will be recorded by Interactive er can check each time simulation result(s)through this graph panel.And all useful analysis values are listed on this panel too.ListGraphsSwitch to Graphs tab,while the selected row is changed,the graphs panel will update to the correlated simulation result map.After selecting a row,if system saved multiple maps,user can choose analysis map through Graph selector.8.2Trand ChartThe trend chart of the Error Value is displayed in this ers can monitor the optimization process by keeping track on the Error Value.By default,this plot will be automatically updated by the simulated result throughout the optimization process.Once the optimization has multiple targets,user can choose to individually view the error value trend chart of each target or just the sum of error values for targets.Interactive Optimization use Simplex as optimization algorithm that uses4kinds of method,including Reflection,Expansion,Contraction and Shrinkage,to manipulate the simplex and try to find the local minimum. So each iteration point in trend chart uses color to indicate its corresponding Simplex Algorithm action.9.OptionsThe Options Panel allows you to specify the drawing preferences and decide the preferred way to initiate the optimization process.More:•Options-Drawing Tab•Options-Optimization Tab9.1Drawing TabIn this tab,it allows you to specify the colors for the drawing items in the profile editor window.Below is a list of drawing items that you can modify:Background,Curve,Highlight curve,Selected Curve, Ray,Highlight Ray,Selected Ray,Ray Fan,Ray Sequence9.2Optimization TabIn this tab,it allows you to specify the way of initiating the Downhill Simplex Method.Two ways are provided:[Generate by Character length]or[Generate by Variable limits].9.3Tool-Reset DDEInteractive Optimizer uses DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange),a Windows protocol to share information with TracePro.Once the utility fails keeping connection with TracePro,users just need to click the[Reset DDE]menu button and the utility will fix the issue automatically.。
